Would you be willing not to have garbage pick up 5 or 6 weeks a year for Friday stats? I think I could manage but it would definately generates tons of complaints by Friday/Monday people that they pay the same for garbage collection and don't get the same service.
Now b is a neat idea but the amount of communication required and confusion it would generate having your pickup day change every month likely makes it a non starter.
My personal solution would be to dial back garbage and recycling to every 2nd week to cut the cost in half. This would save us money and then we wouldn't have to worry about the OT costs.

Up until recently (I don't know exactly when) didn't the City have a system where collection day would adjust (move back due to holidays?) I vaguely recall in the early 2000's that this was the case. If I remember correctly we had a collection day calendar in the kitchen so that we wouldn't miss a pickup date change.
